伊萨亚斯灾后第三天：佛州超七成用户复电，州府推出1000万美元企业免息贷款与九处物资分发点（跟进）
彭萨科拉消息：二级飓风「伊萨亚斯」10月9日晚在佛州德斯汀附近登陆三天后，灾后恢复取得明显进展。州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯10月12日表示，受影响用户的复电比例已超过70%，较周六上午近45万户断电大幅改善；佛罗里达电力照明公司（FPL）预计其绝大多数用户可在周一晚前恢复供电，其余用户预计周二前复电。风暴在佛州造成至少两人死亡，全州仍有超过14万户断电。
州政府同日推出新的救助资源：1000万美元无息紧急企业贷款，帮助受灾企业周转；并在埃斯坎比亚、圣罗莎、沃尔顿和华盛顿四县开设九处物资分发点，免费提供瓶装水、耐储存食品和其他必需品。沃尔玛及沃尔玛基金会另承诺投入100万美元资金和物资支援狭长地带灾区，并在多地提供免费热餐、移动淋浴、洗衣、Wi-Fi 和充电服务。
恢复工作仍面临挑战：肖尔河沿岸洪水未退，州警卫队两栖救援队仍在协助居民；埃斯坎比亚、霍姆斯、杰克逊、圣罗莎、苏旺尼、沃尔顿和华盛顿七县部分地区仍在执行烧开水通知，三处饮用水设施和两处污水处理设施尚未恢复运行，数十处设施靠备用电源运转。德桑蒂斯还指示西北佛州学校在周三（10月14日）复课，州府团队正协助清理校车路线；圣罗莎县多所学校在风暴中受损，其中米尔顿高中体育馆屋顶被部分掀翻。

Day Three After Isaias: Over 70% of Florida Power Restored as State Opens $10 Million Business Loan Program (Follow-Up)
PENSACOLA, Fla. — Three days after Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin as a Category 2 storm on the night of Oct. 9, Florida's recovery is gaining ground. Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday, Oct. 12, that power had been restored to more than 70% of affected customer accounts, down from nearly 450,000 outages on Saturday morning, and Florida Power & Light expected most of its remaining customers back by Monday night, with the rest by Tuesday. At least two storm-related deaths were reported in Florida, and more than 140,000 customers statewide were still without power.
The state announced new recovery resources Monday, including $10 million in interest-free emergency business loans and nine Points of Distribution across Escambia, Santa Rosa, Walton and Washington counties providing free bottled water, shelf-stable food and essential supplies. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation committed $1 million in funding and supplies, offering free hot meals, mobile showers, laundry services, Wi-Fi and charging at Panhandle locations.
Challenges persist: flooding along the Shoal River continues, with Florida State Guard amphibious teams assisting residents, and boil-water notices remain in effect in parts of seven counties. Three drinking-water facilities and two wastewater facilities remain nonoperational. DeSantis also directed Northwest Florida schools to reopen Wednesday, Oct. 14; several Santa Rosa County campuses were damaged, including Milton High School, whose gymnasium roof was partially torn off.
